How You Will Learn

All coursework for the Master of Science Nursing is 100% online and includes Practice experiences. Practice experiences do not involve hands-on patient care. Unlike the clinical experiences you completed to become a registered nurse, practice experiences are built in to your courses and do not add additional work.

Practice experiences are interactive learning opportunities where you get to apply the concepts you are learning to real world scenarios. They are an important requirement for accreditation, as it enables students to demonstrate educational competencies.

American Sentinel University knows that working healthcare professionals are very different from traditional classroom students. That’s why we purposely designed our curriculum strictly for online education. We became one of the first in the nation to do so, and one of the few online institutions to focus solely on healthcare. The difference this makes is palpable. The confidence our faculty inspires is contagious. But it’s the personal and professional satisfaction our graduates find in the workplace that keeps us going.
